Super Fast LEGO Motor

[DJSI3434]

How many rpms is that thing doing

[L1Design]

@DJSI3434 I dont know. I dont have the lego speed computer or anything else that could measure its speed.

[DJSI3434]

Centriflicle force moves that wheel off

[L1Design]

@DJSI3434 yeah

[Midnight1XCoffee]

Wouldn't do that if i were you, you'd have either FIRE, or melted legos.

[L1Design]

@Midnight1XCoffee Yeah im not that dumb. Besides, the legos cant handle much more speed than this anyways. I need to figure out a way to water cool the legos because if i run anything at full speed for more than like a minute the axles start to melt. I have melted a few so bad that they broke in half!

[Midnight1XCoffee]

@L1Design Be careful, legos are like china shit, so they could short circuit easily. CAREFULLY PLAN THIS! ;)

[L1Design]

@Midnight1XCoffee Thanks but im not talking about using water to cool the motor. Its the other moving parts that start to heat up and melt eventually. These are the parts could use a water cool down. Using water probably wouldnt work anyways though because legos arent water tight.

[Midnight1XCoffee]

@L1Design Actually, I've done it before, its possible, but hurts the pocketbook, you have to use a water cooler, and have a tubing ststem. Study a water cooling system for a computer, its how mine worked.

Its all tubes..

[L1Design]

@Midnight1XCoffee I know how water cooling works, the main problem with water cooling legos is that any part that you wanted to cool would have to be enclosed in a water tight box. Legos arent water right without gluing them and besides that making a water tight box around the parts that heat up would be pretty difficult. Since the motor cant get wet, i dont see how it would be possible to run an axle spinning at high speeds into the water box without it leaking all over the place.

[magicfngrz]

Use a resistor if it's to much though.

[magicfngrz]

Try sticking it in an outlet.

I'm serious, put it in an outlet (with gloves or something) and make a video of it.

Seriously.

[L1Design]

@magicfngrz If you want to be stupid and get electrocuted then you try it, im all set though.

[magicfngrz]

@L1Design I really did it. Well i used a 9v hobby motor, an outlet, and a phone charger, but I really did it.

[RCPhilN]

we did that with an 9V Lego Znap Motor, but on 43,5V :D

[legodude64100]

thats wicked fast

[speedster661]

nitro menace

[jumojumo2]

DUDE HOLY SHIT!!! IT STARTED TO FLY!!!!

[puddle331]

what set did u get the second wheel out of "L1Design ??

that is sum crazy rpm's

[L1Design]

@puddle331 I actually have like 8 of those wheels because they come in various sets. im not sure which ones exactly, but the lego part number for it is 41896. If your looking for specific parts i suggest you check out the bricklink (dot) com site.

[toecuttergpx]

jesus never knew that motor was so powerfull kos it needs a lot of revvs to take tire off like that

[iDan245]

wow

[MrTRISTANCOOL]

why 18 volt ?

[L1Design]

well...why not?

[weetnietgeen]

how did you do it:P i wanna do that too :D looks awesome :D

[L1Design]

@weetnietgeen Its pretty simple, just find an old power adapter that your not using, cut the tip off of it, and then attach the lego 2-prong connector that fits these type of motors to it. You could also add a switch somewhere in the wire so you can turn the motor on and off. If you dont have an adapter to use, the salvation army has bins full of them and the only cost like $1.

[weetnietgeen]

@L1Design okay, but .... then again..i dont have a lego motor to use steriods on it... =p

[77robinhood77]

@L1Design just connect to your elletrical socket

ps:dont blame me if it just flies outta your house

[zimvaider]

add a spinning blade, and you have got one hell of a weapon! hopefully the blade doesn't fall off...

[tfbenzo]

add a propeller to it and see if it could lift the motor off the ground!

[jbrun009]

reminds me of a video of a lego turbine a guy made, it blew tires off just like that, the guy claimed it does 10000 rpm. Cool though, makes me want to overclock my own motors, make them useful

[coolbeans123d]

try the moter on a car. it would blast it

[Zblj1987]

that poor motor...

[TbasketballG]

cool! i prefer the NXT ones cuz when you position them they stay that way.

[crazypuma164]

You should get a lego speed ometer thing that tells how fast its going. But that is sooooooo fast!

[DJLrunie]

There is a lego speedometer it is called the lego speed computer and the set number is 5206
